Adaptive systems are able to adapt themselves according to changes in its execution environment or the user's needs. Monitors are essential for the development of such systems because they are responsible for collecting ...

Code smells are a popular mechanism to find structural design problems in software systems. Consequently, several tools have emerged to support the detection of code smells. However, the number of smells returned by current ...

Nerve regeneration after an end-to-side neurorrhaphy had been well established in the literature. Both sensory and motor functions could be achieved using this technique. Autonomic and special sensory restoration (e.g., ...

To meet the constant changes of requirements and needs for new features, software systems always remain in a state of constant evolution. The control of the software evolution and maintenance process is crucial and one ...

Context: Code smell is a term commonly used to describe potential problems in the design of object-oriented systems. The theory about code smells, initially presented in nineties, is focused on characterization of different ...

Refatoração visa aumentar a manutenibilidade de sistemas de software melhorando a sua estrutura sem alterar seu comportamento, podendo ser aplicada para remover bad smells. Mesmo com a existência de ferramentas para auxiliar ...

A code smell is a symptom in the source code that helps to identify a design problem. Several tools for detecting and ranking code smells according to their criticality to the system have been developed. However, existing ...

Background: This systematic review had three aims: i) to determine the frequency of anosmia (or other smell disorders) and dysgeusia (or other taste disorders) in COVID-19 patients; ii) to determine whether anosmia or ...

Software systems are often developed in a way that good practices of the object-oriented paradigm are not fulfilled, causing the occurrence of bad smells. Bad smells are symptoms or structural characteristics in a region ...
